became millionaires by investing in this cryptocurrency. The underlying technology
is called the “blockchain,” and this specific technology has the potential to shake
up a lot of industries, including L&D and HR. However, for a lot of people,
blockchain remains a mystery. What is blockchain? And how could it eventually affect
learning and development?

This session will lead you on a journey of discovery, using concrete
examples. The possible applications are numerous: recruitment, learning and development,
